Lobster, the West Coast way Aug 17th 2013, 07:00, by By S. Irene Virbila Three Los Angeles area restaurants, Jar, Hinoki & the Bird and Chinois on Main, offer lobster dinners that are almost as good as being oceanside in Maine. No way am I going to make it to Maine this summer to feast on lobster pulled straight from the Atlantic. Short of flying in the crustaceans from the East Coast (very expensive), I intend to get my lobster fix right here. Not at the Lobster in Santa Monica — too noisy — or the Red Lobster. And I'm not longing for one of the gigantesque lobsters served up at the Palm steakhouses either. Something more demure, more soulful for me. On a recent lobster crawl around town, I found three places that did a good, even great, job with Maine lobster. It's not the same as eating it fresh out of the water in New England — the flavor is more muted — but when you have that craving, you've got to satisfy it. Because the price of lobster goes up and down like the stock market, when you see that telltale "MP" for market price, ask before you order. Media files: 16x9
